Subject: CVE-2010-0730 xen: emulator instruction decoding inconsistency
Assigned with CVE-2010-0730. It does not affect upstream. For more info,
please see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/CVE-2010-0730.
Due to a mismatch between the opcode decoding table and the
implementation of the operand decoder in platform.c, the ARPL
instruction would cause the guest to crash if executed on a MMIO area.
While this is difficult to exploit from non-root, it is theoretically
possible to do so.
This fix changes the failure path to inject #UD instead of crashing the
domain. The guest kernel will transform the #UD into a SIGILL.
